Sending Notifications
To send a notification, use the NOTIFY() functions.
Sending a simple notification to one or more users
The 1st parameter of the NOTIFY function is the identifier(s) of the user(s) who will be notified.To get the identifier of a user, use the GETPEOPLE function or a PEOPLE column.
The 2nd parameter is the text of the notification.
1: [Bob]=GETPEOPLE("Bob Howard")
2: [Content]="Hey Bob, a new task has been assigned to you!"
3: [Notify]=NOTIFY([Bob],[Content])
Or
1: [Notify]=NOTIFY({Person},"A new task has been assigned to you.")
In the latest example, if multiple users are assigned,
each user will receive a notification.
To send a notification to multiple users manually (i.e., not through a column), simply pass a list of users to the GETPEOPLE function.
It will return a list of identifiers you can then pass to the NOTIFY function:
1: [Users]=GETPEOPLE("Bob Howard|John Doe|Manuela Wittig")
2: [Content]="A new task has been assigned to you!"
3: [Notify]=NOTIFY([Users],[Content])
Sending a notification based on a template
You can create templates using the Library. To use a template for your notification, retrieve it with the GETCONTENT function. For more on this,
see Using the Library to Create Re-Usable Content.
1: [Users]=GETPEOPLE("Bob Howard|John Doe|Manuela Wittig")
2: [Content]=GETCONTENT("Notification")
3: [Notify]=NOTIFY([Users],[Content])
